Garnett is off to shaknews.
So I'll take this moment to say Garnett had to have been at LEAST mildly distinguished mentally-challenged. He coudln't speak properly and it really pissed me off. Then he would go off on these weird fucking tangents and just generally acted like a fucking distinguished mentally-challenged fellow.
Ever since I started listening to GiantBombcast, its become apparent how shitty 1UPYours is.
Good riddance you pieces of excrement!

I haven't listened to more than 2 or 3 episodes in the past 2 years. I couldn't tell you the last one I listened to, as a matter of fact. I guess it was the looooooong show after Ziff sold off everything since it brought the band back together one last time.
After Luke left, the show wasn't as fun. After John went off to do his own deal and wasn't on the show as much, the show was even less fun. And, of course, somewhere along the way I just couldn't relate to them anymore.

Your avatar is so appropriate to this discussion, I don't know why. :-[

I still listened weekly for games I wanted to hear about or news. Don't remember the last full episode I listened to, but even so, other podcasts don't really cover as many games or news as listenup/1upyours did. The best gaming podcast since GFW Radio was gone has been Idle Thumbs. Bombcast is alright every once in a while when they talk about a game I have interest in, but I can't listen weekly. Giantbomb is probably the best gaming website (with media content) out there, though. Only site I actually read is Rock Paper Shotgun.
-
I only watch AVGN and Zero Punctuation nowadays to be honest.
AVGN and Chrontendo are the only gaming-related media I follow, apart from the actual games themselves. Never really got the appeal of podcasts TBH, especially gaming ones.

people really care about this garbage?

Listen Up was a good bowler, and a good man. He was one of us. He was a man who loved the outdoors... and bowling, and as a surfer he explored the beaches of Southern California, from La Jolla to Leo Carrillo and... up to... Pismo. He died, like so many young men of his generation, he died before his time. In your wisdom, Lord, you took him, as you took so many bright flowering young men at Khe Sanh, at Langdok, at Hill 364. These young men gave their lives. And so would Listen Up. Listen Up, who loved bowling. And so, Listen 1up Yours, in accordance with what we think your dying wishes might well have been, we commit your final mortal remains to the bosom of the Pacific Ocean, which you loved so well. Good night, sweet prince.

This man speaks the truth. The worst was when Shane was on the show, as there was sincere fanboy spin every week. With Garnett, it always turned into "game x is the best game ever" every single week, with game x being whatever game he was playing at the moment. I also hated how they endorsed internet and gaf memes on the show, which was pathetic and manbabyish. Reminded me of this:

Idle Thumbs is probably the best gaming podcast out there right now. The only other ones I listen to are Out of the Game, A Life Well Wasted, Gamers with Jobs, and Borecast :-*

Garnett Lee is Borys, confirmed.

yeah, Garnett is pretty terrible at expressing how he felt about a game. The best was Prototype where he's like "YESH YOU FUCKING KILL DUDE SAND TEAR THEM APART AND SHIT" and everyone is just like "why would I want to do that?" It repeated two or three times until Garnett himself kinda lost interest in Prototype.
and a nice line up of podcasts you listen to. Exception of Gamers with Jobs, those are the exact ones I listen to (+ A Life Well Wasted and Retronauts)

people really care about this garbage?
You must get all kinds of pussy.
:lol
i get by.
garbage was referencing to 1up shows and not podcasts in general
I love how he'd be really in to a game one week then hate it the next.
or the reverse :lol
-
people really care about this garbage?
:lol really. podcasts are shit
-
there are no exceptions to my net

I liked the show before the massive layoffs, but wasn't even aware that it had limped along afterward.
I just watched that during commutes sometimes; if I want to hear someone's opinion about a game, I come here.
-

so you won't be checking for my end-of-the-year music podcast? :'(
-
probably not, no. i just dont listen to podcasts.
-
Downslide for me was when Che left. The death knell was Luke's departure. I have to check out Giant Bombcast.
-
Never listened to a single episode since they did the changeover to 1up Yours.
Only podcasts I listen to on a semi-regular basis are:
- Retronauts
- Giant Bombcast
- Mobcast
- and of course, The Borecast Starring Drinky Crow (and Eel O' Brian I guess) :-*

I listen from time to time, but the audio quality is terrible at times. I like the content, for the most part, although there is one bitmob writer that I don't care for. I don't remember his name, just that he sounds like a stuffy dork
-
Oddly I stopped listening to the three hour 1up podcasts in favor of the Cheap Ass Gamer podcast. They make fun of JRPGs and talk about vaginas and Batman
-
I stopped listening to Giant Bombcast a while back when they kept doing these long segments of them trying out new beverages or candies that people would send them. Seriously, 30 minute stretches of sounds of soda bottles opening and gulping the drinks in the microphone and "this tastes good... this tastes gross... this tastes just right..." Maybe I should give the podcast another chance. They do have the best opening theme music.
I like Rebel FM for mindless entertainment and lots of fart jokes.
ListenUp is worth it sometimes. David Ellis has surprised me as one of the more thoughtful commentators at 1Up. And I always enjoy the show whenever the have ferricide on as a guest (especially when he mentions me :) ). Garnett has always come off as an airhead to me.
I like the Geekbox a lot.
Out of the Game is usually great.
-
most gaming podcasts are shit. i only check out zero punctuation occasionally
-
I love A Life Well Wasted because it's basically a total ripoff of This American Life (this is a good thing), just about games.

Hopefully not in the same sentence.

The CAGcast is fun because the hosts do not take themselves or gaming too seriously.

Tell me more sir, you have my ear.

fuck these cunts. i get all my news here

The guy who makes it said it's basically Radiolab for video games. I listened to an episode of Radiolab and it's hard to tell them apart, so yeah.
-
I barely ever remember to liste to the giant bombcast, but I can justify listening to it pretty easily...

Robert Ashley is the biggest tools in video game journalism. The fact that he thought his band was good was just the topping on the fatgirl. :lol

I love Giantbomb so much.

1up who?
1up is dead.
-
1upyours died when luke left
yes i used to listen to the show
yes i am slightly embarrassed about it
-
I like A Life Well Wasted too, but the last episode was pretty distinguished mentally-challenged. Almost a solid 30 minutes of some creepy cosplaying chick attempting to legitimize her life/hobby.
